{meet mermaid}

This is what happens when you let an almost-two-year-old name a kitten...you end up with a name like Mermaid.

I discovered "Mermaid" last night as I was taking out some trash. She was meowing very loudly, I called for her once and she came running. My intention was to just feed her some food, like I often do for the stray neighborhood kittens that wind up in our yard and call it good. That is, until a little person & her Daddy saw it. It was all over after that! Before I knew it she was inside being bathed, fed and loved on.

"Mermaid" appears to be an Orange Tabby that's probably about 3-4 months old. She has an appointment to see the vet tomorrow and see if she's healthy enough to keep.

Kasper, our 11 year old spaz white cat, couldn't be bothered with her. She hasn't acknowledged her in the least...so I guess that's okay!?
